Leviticus 3:3

3:3 Then the one presenting the offering ¹  must present a gift to the Lord from the peace offering sacrifice: He must remove the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that surrounds the entrails, ² 

Leviticus 3:14

3:14 Then he must present from it his offering as a gift to the Lord: the fat which covers the entrails and all the fat on the entrails, ³ 

Leviticus 4:26

4:26 Then the priest ⁴  must offer all of its fat up in smoke on the altar like the fat of the peace offering sacrifice. So the priest will make atonement ⁵  on his behalf for ⁶  his sin and he will be forgiven. ⁷ 

Leviticus 8:16

8:16 Then he ⁸  took all the fat on the entrails, the protruding lobe of the liver, and the two kidneys and their fat, ⁹  and Moses offered it all up in smoke on the altar, ¹⁰ 

[3:3]  ¹ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent (the person presenting the offering) has been specified in the translation for clarity (cf. the note on Lev 1:5).

[3:3]  ² tn Heb “and all the fat on the entrails.” The fat layer that covers the entrails as a whole (i.e., “that covers the entrails”) is different from the fat that surrounds and adheres to the various organs (“on the entrails,” i.e., surrounding them; J. Milgrom, Leviticus [AB], 1:205-7).

[3:14]  ³ sn See the note on this phrase in 3:3.

[4:26]  ⁵ tn Heb “Then he”; the referent has been specified in the translation for clarity. Based on the parallel statements in 4:10 and 4:31, it is the priest who performs this action rather than the person who brought the offering.

[4:26]  ⁶ sn The focus of sin offering “atonement” was purging impurities from the tabernacle (see the note on Lev 1:4).

[4:26]  ⁷ tn Heb “from.” In this phrase the preposition מִן (min) may be referring to the reason or cause (“on account of, because of”; GKC 383 §119.z). As J. E. Hartley (Leviticus [WBC], 47) points out, “from” may refer to the removal of the sin, but is an awkward expression. Hartley also suggests that the phrasing might be “an elliptical expression for יְכַפֵּר עַל־לְטַהֵר אֶת־מִן, ‘he will make expiation for…to cleanse…from…,’ as in 16:30.”

[4:26]  ⁸ tn Heb “there shall be forgiveness to him” or “it shall be forgiven to him” (KJV similar).

[8:16]  ⁷ tn Again, Aaron probably performed the slaughter and collected the fat parts (v. 16a), but Moses presented it all on the altar (v. 16b; cf. the note on v. 15 above).

[8:16]  ⁸ sn See Lev 3:3-4 for the terminology of fat and kidneys here.

[8:16]  ⁹ tn Heb “toward the altar” (see the note on Lev 1:9).
